Farnsworth's poor attitude a problem?

If the Detroit Tigers do not trade for their former closer Kyle Farnsworth by today's 4:00 trade deadline, it may be because of his poor attitude according to the New York Post. Farnsworth is unhappy with his his role with the Yankees and had a recent blowup with catcher Jorge Posada.

July 30, New York Post: Brought into yesterday's game against the Orioles at Camden Yards with a six-run bulge in the eighth inning, Farnsworth not only walked the first batter and gave up a two-run homer, he crossed up Jorge Posada and then had the audacity to walk off the mound when the catcher went to talk to him about why he threw a fastball that hit Posada in the arm when Posada called for a slider. Things became so heated Alex Rodriguez played peacemaker on the mound.

"I don't like it at all," said Farnsworth, who appeared in three games in 12 days going into yesterday's debacle when he forced Joe Torre to use Mariano Rivera in the ninth. "I didn't come here to sit on the bench."

The trade deadline is 4 p.m. tomorrow afternoon and while teams expressed an interest in Farnsworth recently, it will be a major miracle if GM Brian Cashman can find a taker after yesterday's act that goes with a 1-1 record, 4.57 ERA and having allowed 47 hits and 21 walks in 41& 1/3 innings. The Tigers were interested, but that was before manager Jim Leyland hears about yesterday's shenanigans.
